Evening time is Toga Time.

I have a roman pattern tunica I've sewn from two large matching towels. Sew them together on the pink.

So every evening when I get off work, I get myself a shower and slip into my luxurious towel tunic rucked up over a belt. I walkabout outside (to the delight and distress of my neighbors) then it's inside for sitting-dry-time where I eat candy or junk food and drink something decadently fruity while listening to music and enjoying the company of my lovely mutuals on this webbed site.

It is once again Toga Time. Join me, Fellow Romans, for I have just returned from the public Baths and I seek your delightful company

Here’s a progression of all my cannon and non-cannonical garb looks.

✨😍Got some photos back from Jim Pool (find him on smugmug!) and I adore this one. 😍✨ I loving going to local faires, I love wearing complex and historically inspired garb; I live for being a walking museum and have people come up asking about each piece or permission to touch.

I am once again cutting up thrifted wool coats to make something silly

BEHOLD! A man purse fit for a Me!

My Gokstad pouch is nice but too small for water and snacks for my little one, hence this. I made the Hedeby bag handles from an ash shipping pallet. The bag is wool overdyed marigold, the panel is silk overdyed green, and the braid and lashing are wool yarn from Joann.

Changes will be made. The bottom panel is matched in the back but not the front - I don't know how that happened but I will flip it around and move the silk. Now I need to try my hand at embroidery

Succeeded in embroidering another hat panel with not-a-penis

It's an early medievalish boaty thing with me and my girls (i'm the round one). I spent a day looking at boats on tapestries, slept on it, and decided to shoot my shot.

Went back and highlighted around the double diamond thing to make it pop too.

Its armor and weapons or massive bling - there's no in between with this kid. She finally approves of the dress.

Tunic is linen from armstreet. Dress is made from bargain bin knit fabic with a fulled appearance to conceal the weave. Panel is cotton with brocaded trim, and beads are plastic so I won't regret if they break. Is it a bit overboard? Yeah, but if it gets her to play then cool beans. Now I need to make something for the wife to complete a full family outfit in norse theme. I look forward to being finished so we can maybe pay a visit to to the land of liripipes next

New Fancy Hat

6 panel birka hat, patterned using a bedsheet and sewn together at Defender of the Fort. Made from the sleeves of two thrifted wool coats in a herringbone weave. The yellow was a black/white weave that I threw in with another dye project. And because I am a dork I decided to do some embroidery

Practiced with this double diamond thingy off of one of the panels of överhogdal tapestries, tried my hand at the ubiquitous sunwheel (my renfair guild badge), and the sca blue feather as my first time doing a fishbone stitch. I need to embroider 3 more panels without resorting to drawing dicks everywhere, but it's hard to resist.
